Centennial Scholarships

If you've got the talent and commitment to become an aerospace leader but need financial help, read on!!
In 2003, the Royal Aeronautical Society launched the Centennial Scholarship Fund in celebration of one hundred years of flight and to look forward to the next generation of aerospace pioneers and experts in the 21st Century.

Thanks to the generous support of the sponsors of the Fund, representing all areas of membership of the RAeS – from our Corporate Partners large and small, to individual members – the Fund has gone from strength to strength and we have been able to provide support to a number of outstanding students and team initiatives and will continue to do so in 2012 and beyond.

Awards made so far include support towards:

  • Final year MEng students
  • Postgraduate tuition fees to enable young people to undertake Master’s programmes such as Air Transport Management and Aerospace Vehicle Design
  • Completion of aerospace-related post-doctorate research projects
  • National programmes to encourage young people’s interest in the aviation industry and aerospace engineering.

Since the awards began in 2003, over 100 awards have been made with a value of more than £400,000.00

We run one series of applications annually. For 2012 applications the deadline for individudal and team applications is 17.00, Thursday 31 May 2012.
